I crack up at the ones that come in for a job interview wearing a dirty t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. Their buddy stands around looking at stuff in the front of our store while the “short” interview takes place.
I had one tell me “I have to apply for a job to keep my unemployment coming in”. LOL!
(Is LOL! proper grammer?)
Ha. I work part time at an Italian restaurant. Someone called in to ask what “denominations” were available for our gift certificates. The recent HS grad who answered the phone said, “What’s that?” She had to ask a couple times. Apparently the person on the other end didn’t have time to explain what “denominations” means and hung up. I told her later she should have said, “Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, and Roman Catholic, and Lutheran.”
You should stop hiring Florida State grads.

Too many of our native born aren’t exhibiting that character trait.
This is exactly what we are experiencing also. In fact, I commented the other day, “Apparently everyone has a trust fund today, because they sure don’t seem to have to work.”
You, dear friend, win THE prize! THAT is precisely what I am facing when these people go to work! AND, some have assumed I am referring to teenagers - no, it is happening with those well into their twenties and, in one case, a guy in his thirties “can’t be expected to commute...”
Unbelievable.
